already been engaged and all efforts
possible will be made to satisfy his
patrons. The same cream route will
be continued and probably another

abolish this branch of the business, as
i some one has enormously stated.
i A very interesting lawsuit came off
! in Brigham & Netherlands office Mon
! day afternoon. 1t appears that last
Spring S. B. Clark loaned his neigh
Dor, Richard Marshall, a barrel of
buckwheat and was to receive as pay
for the same barrel of wheat with an
additional bushel in the fall. The
defendant refused to pay, claiming
! that the wheat borrowed did not be-
long to Clark hut to Geo. Wilkins.
Hence the suit. Waldo Brigham,
Esq, although not in the best of
health, did hot wish to see his friend
Clark defeated in the matter and so
took up the case for him; Geo. Will
kins of Stowe appearing for the de-
: PENDANT. Mr.. Brigham presented the
case in his usual torcible way, declar-
ing it was an outrage; that the plain
tiff had kindly loaned the wheat, not
as speculation, but as friendly act,
and all that vas demanded now was
its return with slight interest. Mr..
Wilkins, in stentOrian tones, replied
that he presumed the wheat in ques-
ton belonged TO him and so advised
his client not to pay Clark. There
was vast amount Of sparring on both
sides, every point brought up being
severely attacked. To locker on, it
appeared as if there were several
thousand dollars at stake, SO fiercely
did the attorneys fight the case. They
were we'll pitted against each other
and were not at all sparing in their
remarks concerning each other. At a
late hour in the afternoon it was fin
ished, aud Justice Smalley gave judg
ment for the plaintiff to the amount of
1910 and costs. Not being of enough
value to take an appeal, the case was
settled on the Justices decision.

Harry B. Peck, (son of Thomas
Peck) has a farm in Cheyenne Co.,
and writes concerning it in
The following poetical manner, which {
we publish by request
rambled round in thought profound
To see what could be seen
In northern wildS, in southern fields
And western prairies green.
I've found a rare young Eden fair
Where naught can e'er alarm, .
And all my time invest in
Cheyenne county farm. L
Here on the range imposing,
Strange no words Of discOrd fall, n
The stars of night look down SO bright
With twinkling smiles for all.
Wild flowers rare perfume the air.
And life is quite charm;
I'll bet V you'd like to see
MY Cheyenne county farm II

While birds of song about us sing =,
Their lone songs soft and low
o, weary man, while this you sean,
Your prejudice disarm, 7
